Tiger Woods may be facing up to the inevitable. With odds of his reconciling with wife Elin looking slimmer, we hear he recently met with lawyer Jeff Fisher. The Florida attorney repped golf god Greg Norman, who reportedly paid wife Laura $105 million, freeing him to marry Chris Evert. The equal-opportunity matrimonial maestro also fought for NASCAR champ Jeff Gordon's wife, Brooke, who came away with $15 million-plus. Fisher didn't return calls.

Gayle King admits she fumed when Kitty Kelley's new bio of her best friend, Oprah Winfrey, came out. But King tells us the talk queen isn't sweating it. "Oprah has told us all this stuff already," King argues. Doesn't Oprah want to find out who her biological father is - something Kelley says she knows? "No," says King. "Oprah feels her dad is Vernon Winfrey." King says she and O won't be reading the book by Kelley, who tells us she believes Oprah will never complete the autobiography she halted 17 years ago. Says King: "Oprah stoped the book because she felt she had still had a lot of living to do. I think it will be a hell of book when she writes it. And a hell of a movie!"

Ray Romano grew up in Forest Hills playing with a girl - his cousin, Linda John, only two months his junior. John tells us, "Ray produced plays at our parish church.
